Getting errors whyle trying to import igs file into solidowrks.
(OP)
I am trying to import a .igs file into solidowrks, and then edit it. However, whenever I open it, I get an error asking "Do you wish to import diagnostics on this part?"
If I hit yes, The part loads, but it doesn't look as it should. On the left side is a bar with a listing of errors. There is a button that says "attempt to heal all". If I push it, it processes for a while, and is then able to fix only some of the errors. If I right-click on the individual errors, and hit "Repair Face" or "Heal Gap" it is unable to fix it.
The interesting thing is, I can import into Pro/E wildfire4 with no problems, but am unable to edit the actual part in pro/e.
I really am not sure how to go from here. if anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks.

In the zip I put the igs file itself, as well as a pdf drawing of it.
What I am trying to do is close off the 2 small pear-shaped holes that are seen in the left view of the pdf drawing.
I'd really appreciate it if you guys could help me out with this one.

I can help you to cleanup the data and make a parasolid file of the existing data.Is that O.K. for you?
Which version of SW are you using?
Thanks

When an igs file is translated,the way surfaces are created varies from system to system.Some of the surfaces may be missing while it is read in SW.
See how it opens in SW and do a diagnostics.
Hope this works.
Thanks

In the header of the iges file will be info on when, who and what created the iges file.
This also works for step files.

superart ... any chance you could get a parasolid from the catia user who created the model.
Or better yet a native Catia file and see if you can get a FormatWorks demo or trial from http://www.capvidia.com/products/formatworks
The models posted above (and my testing on your file) all leave at least one problem face or edge. They could probably be fixed with more knowledge, time and patience.
